    1 - Introduction

    1.1 Introduction

    This manual describes how to configure a Primacy or a Zenius printer connected to Wi-Fi or to a TCP/IP network, also known as an Ethernet network.

    The two printers are similar, for this reason, the network administrator manual is the same for both printers.

    This information is intended for well-informed readers who are specialistes in computer networking.

    The examples given are based on Windows 7.

    Changing the printer’s basic settings, without prior knowledge of the layout of the LAN in question or without genuine technical knowledge may result in a malfunction of the printer, and may even extend to a more widespread failure of all part of the LAN.

    Contact your System and Network Administrator before connecting to or changing the settings for your local area network.

    1.2 List of icons

    Warning Sign:Indicates an operation which require special attention.

    Note:Indicates general remarks.

    No entry sign:Identifies steps or actions strictly prohibited.

    Eye:Inspect, Check.

    General Remarks

    2 - General remarks

    All Evolis printers have the benefit of a TCP/IP network connection mechanism.

    This feature is available as standard or as an option, depending on the model in the range.

    By default, the printer comes configured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which means that its IP address is supplied by the network. Besides, by default, Wi-Fi is disabled.

    In addition to these basic settings, the network administrator has the option of configuring the printer differently in order to comply with the constraints imposed by the corporate LAN:• Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP.• Printer connected within a subnet with fixed IP address, with WINS resolution.• Printer connected within a subnet with fixed IP address, without WINS resolution.• Printer connected in Wi-Fi.

    The printer may be identified on the network according to:• Its hostname (NETBIOS),• Its IP address,• Its serial number.

    The user-definable settings are:• The printer’s IP address,• Subnet mask,• Gateway,• WINS server,• Wireless connection settings

    The following sections describe the procedures to be followed in order to configure the printer taking the specific features of the LAN / Wi-Fi into account.

    The examples and screen images are from a Microsoft Windows environment, on the basis of which your System and Network Administrator will have full scope to configure the printer in other environments such as Mac OS X or Linux.

    2.1 Interface characteristics

    Protocol: 10Base-T / 100Base-T

    Speed: 10Mbit/sec and 100Mbit/sec, automatic detection

    Connection: Auto-MDX

    Link: Half / Full duplex

    LED: Green LED On = 10Mbit/s Off = 100Mbit/s Orange LED On = Printer connected to network Flashing = Printer connected and network traffic

    2.2 TCP/IP Protocol• IPv4 compatible• IP address configured under DHCP (factory setting) or manually• Raw mode printing uses the TCP/9100 port• Name authentication is based on NBNS (NetBios Name Server)• NBNS service via TCP for WINS resolution when the WINS server is configured.

    When the IP address is static, the configuration relating to the gateway, subnet masks and WINS resolution is set manually.

    When the printer is configured in DHCP mode, this data is supplied by the DHCP server.

    2.3 Wi-Fi

    Your printer may have an optional Wi-Fi interface. Out of factory, the wired interface is enabled and the Wi-Fi interface is disabled. See how to configure the printer on a Wi-Fi network on paragraph 5.2.2 Wireless, page 17.

  • General Remarks

    Page 7

    2.4 MAC address• Generated from the printer’s serial number with the Evolis 00-1A-FD header (Evolis OUI - Organisationally

    Unique Identifier).• For example, for the serial number P07100001234, the MAC address is 00-01-FD-00-04-D2.• 00-04-D2 is the hexadecimal transcription of the decimal value 001234.

    MAC address is visible beneath the printer

    2.5 Hostname

    The printer name (hostname) is automatically set as EVO_NNN_XXXXXXX, where:• EVO is the root for Evolis products• NNN varies with the printer model:

    ° PR1 for Primacy ° ZE1 for Zenius

    • XXXXXXX is obtained from the printer’s serial number, e.g. EVO_PR1_0001234 for serial number Z710001234

    Hostnames are used by various naming systems. Evolis limits the hostname to 15 characters according to the Windows Netbios limitations: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909264/en-us

    2.6 IGMP

    Evolis uses IGMP frame to send query to all printers connected to the network. To use the discovery services offered by the Evolis Premium Suite, it is important that the network gateways support IGMP frames. To route Multicast traffic between two LANs, the gateway requires PIM Dense or PIM Sparse mode.

    Example for Windows Server 2003: http://www.labo-microsoft.org/articles/win/rad2003/7

    The default Evolis Multicast address is 224.69.86.79.

    4 - Printer configuration using escape commands

    Administrators can also configure printers by means of ESCape commands.

    To do so, it is essential to install the printer and its USB driver beforehand, in order to have a direct connection available for dialogue.

    4.1 Access to the printer dialogue menu

    1. Open the Evolis Print Center.

    2. Double click on the printer you want to dialog with.

    Figure 3: Access to the printer dialogue menu

    3. A properties window opens. Click on Maintenance.

    Figure 5: Printer’s properties window

    4.2 List of Escape commands

    It is recommended to always read the contents or status of the printer before making any changes. Similarly, after any modification, check that new data is handled properly by reading it.

    To enter an escape sequence, fill the Command field with instructions described hereafter.

    It is recommended to enter Escape commands via USB connection in order to avoid losing the connection.

    5 - Evolis printer configuration settings

    5.1 Access to the administration web page

    Each printer has an embedded web server which can be used to display configuration data.

    The administration page is reached by entering the IP address into your web browser. The address of the printer’s integrated web server is determined as follows:• The printer’s hostname must be entered in lower case.

    ° For example, for a printer having hostname «EVO_PR1_0023456», enter http://evo_pr1_0023456. ° The IP address may be entered if you don’t know the printer’s hostname, enter http://xxx.yyy.zzz.

    ttt (i.e. 192.168.2.13).

    If you don’t know the hostname or the IP address, please refer to the TCP/IP Protocol subsection of this section for further details on how the hostname is structured.

    5.2 Viewing the settings

    Some of this data can also be changed using this same interface.

    Two web pages display all the network settings. The tab “Network” to configure the TCP/IP parameters and the tab “Wireless” to configure the Wi-Fi parameters.

    5.2.1 Network

    Figure 6: Web interface - Network

    On the Network web interface, you can enable or disable the DHCP mode. When the DHCP mode is enabled, only IP Multicast field can be filled.

    Other fields can be filled only if DHCP mode is disabled.

    5.2.2 Wireless

    Figure 7: Web interface - Wireless

    On the Wireless web interface, you can enable or disable the Wi-Fi. When the Wi-Fi is disabled, no field can be filled.

    If the Wireless mode is enabled, usual wireless settings can be configured.

    When setting mode other than Disable, the wired connection becomes disable.
